Hi Lauren , You are doing great. Treehouse Grader is a bit strict to formatting. You just forgot a whitespace after comma.

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
available.split(";")
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = (", ").join(sundaes)
menu = menu.format(display_menu)
